Congratulations to Dr. Yanga and his wife Christine on the birth of their beautiful daughter Elina Marie. Born August 2nd, she weighed 7 lbs 3 ounces and was 20 ½ inches long.
A big welcome back to Jeff Hansen! Looking forward to having you as part of the team again – you have truly been missed.
Howell Rotary is looking for Host Families for the Youth Exchange. Each year, local Rotary districts and clubs worldwide arrange thousands of international youth exchanges for high school aged students. A primary goal of therogram is to foster world understanding by way of intercultural exchange.
The responsibilities of hosting an exchange student can be summarized in a few simple precepts:
• Meet your exchange student on arrival in your country and make
him/her feel at home as part of the family.
• Help the student achieve language mastery.
• Involve the student in obligations similar to those established for
your own family members.
• Guard the student from outside demands to allow him/her time
to accept Rotary obligations.
• See that the student meets other young people.
• Be tolerant of differences and be willing to change your own
ideas.
If you are interested in learning more about the exchange program or becoming a host family please contact Steve Manor for more information at teach34@comcast.net
